Whitehall Studios

Whitehall Studios is a specialist maternity photographer based in Belfast, dedicated to celebrating pregnancy with timeless, natural imagery. We approach every maternity photoshoot with sensitivity and intention, focusing on flattering, authentic portraits that honour the unique beauty of this stage. Our priority is to create a calm, supportive studio experience so expecting mothers feel relaxed, confident and comfortable throughout the session. Our style blends classic portrait principles with a gentle, documentary sensibility — capturing posed, elegant images alongside softer, more emotive moments. We work closely with each client prior to the session to understand personal preferences for pose, wardrobe and mood, offering straightforward styling suggestions and simple posing guidance to highlight the bump and connections between partners if they join the shoot. In-studio lighting is tailored to each look, from soft, glowing light to striking, contrasty compositions depending on the vision for your portraits. The process is designed to be easy and reassuring: a brief pre-shoot conversation to plan the session; a relaxed studio shoot where pace is set by your comfort; and a calm viewing experience where your images are presented and delivered digitally. We take care to create a warm, private atmosphere so you can focus on the moment rather than the camera. Many clients value the professional but friendly approach — we guide poses with clear direction and a reassuring presence that helps even those new to being photographed feel at ease. Choosing Whitehall Studios for your maternity photoshoot in Belfast means choosing a photographer who treats this milestone with respect and creative care. We specialise in maternity photography and understand how to frame and light each shot to celebrate shape, emotion and connection. Whether you want classic, soft portraits or more contemporary, dramatic images, we tailor the shoot to your style. If you’re preparing for your session, we’re happy to advise on wardrobe, timing and how to make the most of your studio experience. Let Whitehall Studios capture this fleeting, powerful chapter with elegant, lasting maternity photographs you’ll be proud to share and keep.
